Rythm Rhyme Revolution (Barrie Sharpe & Gareth Tasker): Gareth plays & Barrie
produces. Their sound is individual - based upon the funk of the 70s – however,
with a totally modern production…

Barrie K Sharpe, as most know,
was one of the four creators of Duffer, one of the two creators of the “Rare
Groove” scene and in the band that defined Acid Jazz - Diana Brown & The
Bothers. Indeed he was very much at the forefront of the movement that changed
youth culture in the mid 80s.

Diana Brown & The Bothers metamorphosed into The Brand New Heavies, The
Young Disciples: &, along With Diana Brown, Barrie had the first Acid Jazz
style commercial success with their track “Masterplan”…

“I designed the clothes, ran the club, played the
records, was in the band and made the music, which created the scene that
changed youth culture worldwide. I
just kept falling up hill”…

Barrie talks regarding his
musical partner Gareth Tasker: “Gareth is
a major part of the sound, he plays all the instrumentation on every track;
which he also co-writes. Gareth is the unsung hero of the Acid Jazz scene. We
have been working together since 1987 – a fuckin’ musical genius”…
